C is for Carrot Cake

Grandma Warkentin's recipe

(Pay no attention to my mother's recipe alterations...she's always cutting the best thing...sugar!)

It s official. I have found THE carrot cake recipe of all carrot cake recipes. I had to try making it twice just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. No fluke...its that good. I may have eaten it for breakfast and dessert yesterday. And wished I had it for lunch as well.

Combine ingredients in order given. No need to sift flour. Mix and blend well. Pour into well greased and floured bundt pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Remove from oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before turning out of pan onto cake rack. Frost when cool. Refrigerate. (I love it cold!)

I am blessed to be a proud momma bird and to spend lots of time in my nest with my 3 little nestlings. Each day I realize more and more what a challenge it is to raise these little ones, and how much I need God's love, patience, joy, and guidance moment by moment. I know that through Him, and His word, I can be the mommy He desires me to be.
This blog is a way for me to record those every day moments that slip away so easily, and to let others get a glimpse of life in my blessed nest.
